Not sure on that one, but either way, the old fuel pump needs to come out anyway. Once it's out, you can compare them.

Did you have someone who knows what they are looking at or is it just a mate who told you its the fuel pump!

i find most times subaru stop because the airflow meter has died. you probably should look if there is a fault code stored the 96 model be morse code you can also reset the ecu as some dont have a airflow meter. and it can be dirt causing it to shut down. i had that whiped the faults and it started again then cleand intake throttle as the error showed something with airflow and since there was no airflow the local subaru guy told me to clean the throttle as that could be it and it was , next fault was missfire 3 weeks later. Usually best to change plugs after you clean intake as it eats all the dirt you clean off the intake. So first i be doing is check for fault write down codes and reset it. the fans will start spinning on and off when it resets the computer.but get any fault code out first so you got a idea where the fault might be .
a faulty fuel pump can often start and idle okay, but just no power when under load. I'd be looking at electrics - oh and check fuel in tank first!
